Work area

The work area is Microsoft Excel worksheet where you create and view reports.

When you create a new Exploration View or list, the work area displays a visual guide to help you build the report. Drop zones show you where you can drag items from the source tree to create the report. You can change, limit, or expand the items that you see in an Exploration View by using techniques such as filtering and drilling, to quickly focus on the most significant items on your worksheet.

If you want to use a more flexible report layout, rather than visual guides, you can create other types of reports such as Quick Reports, Dynamic Reports, and Custom Reports.
